Chez Pim will speak English again soon!
Sorry to scare you all. No, I have not decided to do the blog only in French from now on. This is just a temporary thing. I participated in a blog cook-off of sort over at Blog-Appétit, but I got it done so late last night that I didn't have time to translate it into an English post as well. I was planning on doing it today but all hell is breaking loose at the moment at work, so I shall have to get to this tomorrow.
No worries. See you tomorrow back in English, er, American, I mean.
I saw you in the Chronicle too -- how fun! Congratulations!

First time here (the obvious start) beautiful site and perspectives. My two cents on the language issue, post in whatever langauge you want any time. I can understand enough French (barely any) to want to learn the language so that I can fully read your post. Can't all great chefs speak multiple languages? I would suspect that knowing the cuisine of a nation gives you unique insights into its culture and language. 3/4 of the Japanese and Italian that I know are related to food terminology.
Food does this, I am always (lovingly) pestering my students to help me translate recipes and food terminology from their native cuisines. So I say, keep posting in French, within the year I will be fluent.

Looking forward to seeing the recipes in English - the scallops look incredible and I might snag that recipe for an upcoming dinner party. Thanks Pim!

For a minute there, I thought I was in France. Oh, wait. I am. But, tomorrow may be a different story.
